Keeping You Safe

Dalhousie University will continue to require masks in indoor common spaces until April 30. This includes the Dalhousie Arts Centre, the Dalhousie Arts Centre Box Office, and the Rebecca Cohn Auditorium. Symphony Nova Scotia will continue to require masks throughout the spring 2022 season.

Not everyone will have the same degree of comfort with the lifting of restrictions, and we ask that you please respect the personal space and comfort level of those around you. As a commitment to the comfort of our patrons, we will continue to reduce capacities this spring.
